-- USC assistant Ed Orgeron is under NCAA investigation for conducting an illegal workout with a recruit in May 2009, according to ESPN.com.

The report states that Orgeron, then an assistant with Tennessee, worked with star high school defensive tackle Brandon Willis at 6 a.m. at his high school. NCAA rules limit off-campus contacts to the spring of a player’s high school junior year and the winter of his senior year. And it’s illegal in those contacts for the college coaches to instruct the recruits.

The Tennessee staff from 2009 already sits in the NCAA’s crosshairs. A FanHouse report from last week said UT is expected to receive a “failure to monitor” violation for its football staff’s conduct. Then-coach Lane Kiffin and then-assistant David Reaves will also receive the penalty, according to the report.

There is no obvious timetable on an NCAA announcement about Tennessee’s potential violations.

-- Former Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier told ESPN.com he has narrowed his potential transfer destinations to Miami, Kansas State, Arizona, Washington and Division I-AA Montana. Forcier said he plans to visit the schools as soon as this week, according to the website.

Forcier started for the Wolverines in 2009 before sliding behind sophomore sensation Denard Robinson this past fall. He will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Former Rutgers quarterback Tom Savage also is looking to transfer and could be considering Arizona and Miami, according to reports.

-- Georgia and Michigan State completed their coaching staffs over the week. The Bulldogs tapped Will Friend to run the offensive line, according to multiple reports. MSU turned to Central Michigan’s Terry Samuel to take the receivers job, according to the Mount Pleasant Morning Sun.

Media speculation continues that more changes will come on offense. Several media in Nebraska and Oregon reported that Ducks assistant Scott Frost, a Nebraska grad, might return. That buzz cooled over the weekend.

At Nebraska, both offensive coordinator Shawn Watson and receivers coach Ted Gilmore remain possibilities to lose their jobs, according to multiple reports.
